German fonts

[ctdole]

I sometimes need to use German words in my documents, however every time
I try to insert a German "ß" it shows as a "SS" when viewing (or
printing) postscript output. I normally use American English on a Red
Hat Linux 5.2 system, LyX 1.0.4pre4, with teTeX 1.0. 
   Anybody have any ideas as to why this happens?

Thanks
Chris
